Mixed Temperature-Moisture Signal in δ<sup>18</sup>O Records of Boreal Conifers from the Permafrost Zone

Global climatic changes have been observed for all natural biomes, with the greatest impact in the permafrost zone. The short series of direct observations of air temperature and precipitation from meteorological stations for this territory make it difficult to use them in studies of the impact of c...
